Good food, good prices. As a student at Marist, I loved this place. Always had to bum a ride to get there, but always worth it. Simple food like pizza and wraps for casual nights, yummy pasta dishes and desserts for a nice night out. Love it, will always come back

Great Family Restaurant Coco’s is a great family establishment because it is a family business. What started out as a small pizza business in Hyde Park blossomed into a booming restaurant. Although it is an Italian restaurant, they have an eclectic menu. ..." - Lisa H. - Oct 14, 2008

There will always be a special place in my heart reserved for Cocos due to their many years of delicious service to me during my time at CIA. I particularly enjoy this establishment because everything that I have ever eaten there tastes like it was made with tender, loving care and the fact that I could always rely on them to carry my faves (especially the PIZZA ROLLS...mmm). Not to mention I have spent many a good times and have had many a good laughs with my friends here as well. To me Cocos offers pure and simple comfort food in a laid back (but not too laid back) environment.
The top things I ordered at Cocos:
1) Soup. I usually do not order soup because restaurants typically overcharge for an item that requires little food cost to prepare, BUT Coco’s soups tastes like they are homemade so I never did mind.
2) Wraps. Come to think of it I don’t remember ordering much of anything else that could be considered an entree except the wraps. I remember ordering pizza once (not to be confused with their pizza rolls which I discuss below) which was decent; as well as their pasta which was also at a par playing field with other establishments in the area; but their wraps are practically all that my friends and I ordered while dining there and with good reason. I would suggest the BBQ or buffalo chicken wraps.
3) Pizza Rolls. Now if you remember only one thing from my review, please for the sake of mankind remember these two words: PIZZA ROLLS. If you eat at Cocos, this appetizer is a must try. I tasted them on my first visit there and have ordered them on every returning visit since, even making special trips to specifically pick them up. Whether you choose cheese or pepperoni it doesn’t matter, but be fully warned you will become hooked for life. Very, very good. I believe Coco’s delivers, but if you have to walk here from CIA or even Marist in sleet and snow to try, trust me it would be worth every step.
Additional comments about Coco’s:
Plenty of parking,
service is how it should be,
and there is even a hint of local mom ’n’ pop charm (I remember for about a year straight they would always send my party home with complementary house-made rice pudding which is pleasanly good).
All in all I am most certainly a fan of Coco’s Pizza and it is definitely on my list of things to do if I am ever find myself in Hyde Park again
